The record for the youngest person to ever set off a nuke in Call Of Duty looks like it belongs to a seven-year-old boy named Taj.
Unlocking the Tactical Nuke killstreak and then setting its mechanism off is one of the hardest feats to pull off in Call Of Duty.
It doesn’t only require you to win five consecutive matches but also collect a number of elements spread across the map of Al Mazrah before finally assembling it. It’s a high risk, high reward task that will ensure you a win and reward you with a special victory screen, as well as various in-game items.
Even the most experienced players have a hard time detonating a nuke and yet a seven-year-old boy has proved it’s a piece of cake for him.
Taj was playing Warzone 2 with his dad, Twitch streamer TheGigaDad, when the duo decided to embark on the difficult mission.
Their efforts soon proved to be fruitful with Taj being the one who detonated the deadly weapon and eliminating all their opponents.
His dad couldn’t believe his eyes, simultaneously realising that his son is possibly the youngest person to achieve this in Warzone.
My 7 year old son Taj is the world’s youngest player to nuke Al Mazrah and we are the first Father-Son combo to nuke it together I am aware of ð #Warzone2 #wholesome pic.twitter.com/UIvAnzzAkG — TheGigaDad (@TheGigaDad) January 11, 2023
‘We did it guys! Oh my God! We did it! A seven-year-old boy with a nuclear weapon, the youngest in the world… He is in the second grade,’ TheGigaDad said.
On top of that, the streamer later suspected that they might also be the only father-son duo to drop a nuke in the game.
As soon as his post started getting traction on Twitter, fellow gamers were quick to congratulate them on their Warzone achievement.
One fellow player even joked that all his kids play are games like Roblox and Minecraft, and won’t join him on his Warzone adventures.
That is awesome, big GG’s. I hope to get a nuke one of these days best I have done so far is 2 in a row.
